Configure and build log.

Hello!

I have written a (test) Gentoo live ebuild for v2.0.
After setting up the most configure options, the build have.
Can you have a look at?

The (generated) Makefile contains a lot of "...lo" targets, but the last is a simply object file "SDL_dummy_main.o"

Makefile of the build directory

Out of source build (separate build directory)
Comment 2 Cecil Curry 2012-08-27 17:02:06 UTC 
Interestingly, I receive the same compilation error on x86_64.

On inspection, "build/.libs/SDL_dummy_main.o" does exist. It's just in the wrong directory. This smacks of a "Makefile" quandry, but I'm afraid my make-foo isn't quite what it was.

I just stumbled upon this problem as well, but this was already reported in #1431. A temporary solution is to pass --enable-static
